Non-Human Identities
Agents need credentials. They have no onboarding, no offboarding, no manager and no leaving date — which makes them the fastest growing identity class in your organisation and the least governed.
Sound familiar?
- Service accounts and API keys created ad hoc during a prototype, still live in production.
- No owner, no expiry, no review — the identity outlives the project that created it.
- Human offboarding is a process; agent offboarding is a forgotten secret in a config file.
- Identity teams have no inventory of which non-human identity does what.
What we do
Inventory
Every non-human identity, where it lives, what it can reach, and who created it.
Ownership model
A named human owner and a lifecycle for every agent identity.
Rotation & revocation
Automatic expiry, rotation, and a working kill switch you have actually tested.
Directory integration
Agent identities managed where your human identities are, not in a spreadsheet.
Questions we get
Is this an IAM project?
It borders on one, but it is scoped to agents and their tooling. We work with your existing IAM instead of replacing it.
How long does an inventory take?
For a mid-sized estate, days rather than weeks — the hard part is deciding ownership, not finding the credentials.
